I don't feel like these two post-canon explorations are mutually exclusive?
Thoughts on the courtyard conversation with WWX, LWJ, and LXC.

The evolution of BL and whether queer media should be realistic.

Just heard back from a friend that my shotgunning scene (that I emailed her yesterday) works so guess what y'all get to read in tomorrow's snippet from Deconstruction.

Different sorta shotgun, but now I'm gonna have this song in my head, so y'all can too if you want:

The thread on BL reminds me of when I started writing fanfic in the early 2000s and how it was quite common then to put that it was m/m in the fic warnings. I did it myself. And now I look back and think, god, why? But at the time, especially coming from a background where I had little exposure to gay relationships in media, let alone anything positive, I didn't realize the problematic aspects of doing so until much later.

I'm glad that AO3 uses the nonjudgmental "tags" for most things, but I wish that they would find a different term for what are now the "archive warnings" because it has an implicit judgement implied in it, and plays into the hands of people who try to shame writers and readers for writing non-con and underage in particular.
